Perry and Angelene Hill and The Prayer Warriors (Photos by Jarvis Harris)

For those who believe, the power of prayer is often beyond explanation, but it’s a necessary and sincere connection tool to God. The premise behind prayer is that it supersedes situations and circumstances, requires no specific location, demographic, experience, education or financial status. It’s open to and for all. Keeping all of those factors in mind, The Prayer Chapel was established in June 2006 by pastors Perry and Angelene Hill as a non-denominational means for Christians to connect with God and intercede on the behalf of others through pointed, specific, strategic and determined prayer. It was a move of faith, but the Hills were certain that it was a clarion call from God to a deeper level in Him.

“Elder [Perry] and I stepped out in faith knowing that the vision would become clearer as we made the faith walk one step at a time,” said Angelene. “Together, we are yet walking out the vision and are watching it as God unfolds it through revelation and knowledge. God is faithful and will make provision where He gives a vision. He is increasing us more and more.” An extension of “A Ray of Hope Ministries,” The Prayer Chapel is simply where prayer prevails for daily direction and “intercessors are developed.” It is comprised of every facet of what the Bible defines as the Five-Fold Ministry, which includes the spiritual calling to be an apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and/or teacher.

The Prayer Chapel has two different aspects. “Commanding Your Day Prayer Call” occurs every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 6 a.m. Believers from across the country unite together in prayer for 30 minutes via a conference call in order to command and petition what the Lord has designed for that day. The Prayer Chapel: “Where Intercessors are Developed,” occurs every Sunday morning from 6-7 a.m. and the first and third Saturdays of every month from 8 – 9 p.m. (EST).

By design, The Prayer Chapel is a “ministry without walls.” People of all kinds have committed to unite together in prayer for the sake of others. Those gathered on the line run the gamut and include national leaders, lay members, apostles, prophets, teachers, single mothers, married couples, new as well as mature Christians, retirees, professional and everybody in between. They call in and represent every area of the country, from North Carolina to California. The common thread is their ability to identify with the struggles that all of mankind faces and humbly pray on their behalf.

However, as important as the prayer is, it’s not just about the actual prayer. The Hills have designed The Prayer Chapel as an opportunity to teach and impart into others about the ministry and calling of intercession. Various ministry leaders of the chapel dedicate the first and third Saturdays to the teachings and development of Intercessory prayer.

“We spend time with those who show interest in being intercessors, teaching them and giving instruction via the prayer line. Intercessory prayer is different. It’s not just about me and my four and no more,” said Angelene. “The prayers are focused on the world and society at large, political situations and whatever the Holy Spirit leads us to pray about.”

The members of The Prayer Chapel are consistent, dedicated and faithful to the specified times as well as cultivating their calling and assignment and the calling of others. The ministry of The Prayer Chapel is open and available to go into prayer sessions at all times, accepting invitations to conduct workshops, conferences, prayer vigils and trainings of all sizes. The Hills believe that the ministry they have been called to is such that will yield corporate breakthrough and change.

In addition to The Prayer Chapel, the Hills have been given a mandate to conduct marriage and couples ministry. Having been married for 45 years and weathered the trials and tribulations that marriage entails, Perry and Angelene are prepared to counsel couples in every aspect. While Angelene is certified through the American Association of Christian Counselors, the ministry power couple uses the Hope Focused Approach. They have received numerous testimonies of how couples have been reunited and marriages mended through the God-inspired counseling of the Hills.

Even though the Hills as well as the members of The Prayer Chapel all maintain individual ministries and schedules they still commit to the often, tedious schedule required of The Prayer Chapel leaders.
